Objective To study the influence of the combined administration of Bletilla striata and Radix aconiti preparata with different doses or ratios on anhydrous ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury in mice with gastric ulcer. Methods The uniform design method was adopted on the basis of two factors and seven levels, which aims to investigate the influence of combined oral administration of Bletilla striata and Radix aconiti preparata with different doses or ratios on gastric mucosal injury in the mice with gastric ulcer. The indices like gastric ulcer index and stomach mucosa damage index were used to help selecting the right dose or ratio of decoctions for further study. Results The combined administration of Bletilla striata and Radix aconiti preparata at a certain proportion could reduce gastric ulcer index and stomach mucosa damage index. According to the regression analysis, the gastric ulcer index and stomach mucosa damage index were obviously inhibited by Bletilla striata, while this function decreased with the combined administration of Bletilla striata and Radix aconiti preparata. However, an interactive effect between each other has not been found. The influence of decoctions on the gastric ulcer index and stomach mucosa damage index became less when the compatibility ratio of Radix aconiti preparata increased, which referred to the total dose ranged between 3.64 g/kg and 29.32 g/kg. Conclusions The effect of the combined administration of Bletilla striata and Radix aconiti preparata showed relationship among the doses and ratios on anhydrous ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury in mice with gastric ulcer.

Objective To compare the sensitivities of the stimulation effect of human cord blood mesenchymal stem cells(CB-MSCs) and CB-MSCs of neuronal differentiation to lymphocytes(LCs) detected with carboxyfluorescein didcetate(CFSE) and MTT. Methods To prepare LCs from SD rat and divided into four group stimulating cells: 1. CB-MSCs;2. Dif-CB-HSCs;3. SH-SY5Y(positive control);4. Auto-LC(negative control).Stimulating cells were respectively Co-cultured with LCs. The proliferation of LCs was detected with MTT and CFSE ( n =3). Results CB-MSCs and Dif-CB-HSCs stimulated LCs to proliferate more weakly than positive control detected with MTT and CFSE. The quantity of proliferation of lymphocytes Co-cultured with CB-MSCs and Dif-CB-HSCs were higher than that of Auto-LC detected with CFSE. But MTT OD value of CB-MSCs and Dif-CB-HSCs was a little lower than that of Auto-LC. Statistical analysis results showed no significant difference.Conclusion CFSE can reflect proliferation status of lymphocytes better than MTT. CFSE shows more advantages in practical use.

Objective The anti-tumor effect by sequential treatment with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain 7793 and 5-FU in liver-metastases mice model was evaluated and immune-active response stimulated by sequential therapy was investigated. Methods Liver metastasis mice model was established by intra-peritoneal injection. The model mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, being given PBS (0.1 mL/d,10 d), NDV7793 [512 HU/(kg·d),5 d] and NDV7793[512 HU/(kg·d),5 d] + fluorouracil [5-FU,10 mg/(kg·d),5 d]. The effect on survival time,body weight,liver weight change and the formation of liver metastasis in tumor-bearing mice model were detected after different treatments in evaluating the regression of mice liver metastasis by sequential therapy. The detection of thymus index and IFN-γ concentrations in liver tissue of tumor-bearing mice model may indicate the stimulation of immune-active response by sequential therapy. Results The mean survival time of tumor-bearing mice treated with NDV7793 and 5-Fu sequentially was 32 d , which was significantly higher than those of tumor-bearing mice treated with NDV7793(30 d) or PBS injections (17 d), respectively (P< 0.05); The metastatic foci of tumor-bearing mice treated with NDV and 5-FU sequentially (30.60 ± 9.32) which was significantly less than those of tumor-bearing mice treated with PBS injection (273.30 ± 30.73), (P <0.05), seem quite similar to those treated with NDV (24.83 ± 6.90),(P > 0.05), and the liver weight was lighter than PBS (P < 0.05); Compared with NDV treatment, the decreased thymus index and increased amount of the effector IFN γ were observed in tumor-bearing mice treated with NDV 7793 and 5-FU sequentially (P <0.05). Conclusions The sequential therapy with Newcastle disease virus 7793 strain and 5-FU was observed to co-exert a significant suppressive effect in liver metastases of colon cancer cells in tumor-bearing mice model. Compared with NDV treatment , the survival time of mice model and the induction of antitumor effector molecules were significantly improved after sequential therapy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of local lauromacrogol injection in the treatment of laryngopharyngeal hemangioma. METHODS A total of 10 patients suffering from hemangioma of pharynx and larynx from Aug 2015 to Mar 2018 were collected. Endoscope assisted local lauromacrogol injection under topical was used. The therapeutic effects were observed and analyzed.RESULTS All patients were followed up for 3 months to 1 year.

Objective:To observe any effects of contralateral repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the swallowing motor cortex on the swallowing and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) of stroke survivors with dysphagia.Methods:A total of 83 stroke survivors with dysphagia were randomly divided into an ipsilesional stimulation group ( n=22), a contralesional stimulation group ( n=21), a bilateral stimulation group ( n=20), and a control group ( n=20). In addition to their conventional dysphagia training, those in the three stimulation groups received 3Hz rTMS while the control group was given fake stimulation. The treatment was administered daily for 20 minutes, 6 days a week, for 5 consecutive weeks. Before and after the treatment, swallowing function was assessed videofluoroscopically and using the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS). The oral and pharyngeal stages of swallowing were evaluated using the videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS). Brain stem conduction was assessed using BAEPs. Results:After treatment the average DOSS scores of all 4 groups were significantly better than before the treatment. The average DOSS scores of the contralesional and bilateral sti-mulation groups were then significantly better than those of the other two groups. The sub-item and total VDS scores of all 4 groups had decreased significantly, but the average score of the bilateral stimulation group was significantly lower than the control group′s average. Ipsilesional stimulation significantly improved the VDS sub-item scores for the triggering of pharyngeal swallowing, laryngeal elevation, and pharyngeal transit time compared with the control group. In the contralesional stimulation group the average total score and the VDS sub-item scores for apraxia, premature bolus loss, oral transit times, the triggering of pharyngeal swallowing, vallecular residue, laryngeal elevation, coating on the pharyngeal wall, and pharyngeal transit time were significantly lower than those of the control group, on average. After the treatment the latencies of BAEP waves I, III and V and the I-III, III-V and I-V interpeak intervals had decreased significantly in all four groups, but the average latencies and intervals of the bilateral and contralesional groups were significantly shorter than those of the control group. The latencies and intervals of the bilateral stimulation group were then significantly shorter than those in the ipsilesional stimulation group on average. The average latency of wave V in the bilateral stimulation group (6.53±0.73ms) was significantly shorter than that in the contralesional stimulation group after the treatment.Conclusion:Bilateral rTMS over the swallowing motor cortex combined with conventional dysphagia training can significantly improve the swallowing of dysphagic stroke survivors.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between physical indicators and blood pressure or fasting plasma glucose levels in the young-old and oldest-old.Methods:Totally 1 516 subjects from the Guangxi Natural Longevity Cohort were screened in this study and physical examination parameters included body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), waist-to-height ratio(WHtR), fasting plasma glucose(FPG)and blood pressure, and the correlations between them were analyzed.Results:The overweight elderly and overweight young elderly groups had an increased risk of concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose, compared with both elderly people with normal BMI and young elderly people with normal BMI( OR=2.66, 95% CI: 1.90-3.72; OR=3.03, 95% CI: 2.11-4.34). Elderly people with general obesity and young elderly people with general obesity were more likely to have hypertension( OR=5.25, 95% CI: 2.07-13.28; OR=4.75, 95% CI: 1.84-12.21), impaired fasting glucose( OR=2.95, 95% CI: 1.00-8.69; OR=3.06, 95% CI: 1.04-9.02), and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose( OR=7.94, 95% CI: 3.04-20.72; OR=8.68, 95% CI: 3.28-22.94), whereas underweight young elderly had a reduced risk of hypertension( OR=0.27, 95% CI: 0.09-0.80). Elderly people in the central obesity group(WC)showed increased risk of hypertension( OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.04-1.84)and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose( OR=2.39, 95% CI: 1.75-3.27), compared with those in the non-central obesity group.Young elderly people with central obesity had increased risk of hypertension( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.07-2.00), impaired fasting glucose( OR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.14-2.28), and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose( OR=3.03, 95% CI: 2.13-4.32); both elderly people and young elderly people in the central obesity group(WHtR)had increased risk of hypertension( OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.03-1.76; OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.13-2.14), impaired fasting glucose( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.04-1.94; OR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.13-2.31), and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose( OR=2.20, 95% CI: 1.60-3.02; OR=3.22, 95% CI: 2.14-4.84). In the elderly group, BMI was correlated with diastolic blood pressure and WHtR was correlated with the fasting blood glucose level. Conclusions:The levels of fasting plasma glucose and blood pressure increase with elevated physical indicator values(BMI, WC, WHtR)in the Guangxi elderly population, and the risk of developing hypertension, impaired fasting glucose, and concurrent hypertension and impaired fasting glucose increases in elderly patients with general obesity and central obesity, with a higher risk in low-aged elderly patients.
